The guys at GamesRadar found out something really interesting while playing Call of Duty: Black Ops on Wii. Actually, it's a bit more surprising and upsetting than it is interesting. After a quick look around the interwebs, we found many people who are having the same problem. Connecting over the network in Zombies mode works just fine and lag free. But try to connect to the competitive modes and you'll find yourself staring at the same screen waiting for a connection indefinitely. Activision is supposedly slowly ramping up the amount of people who are allowed to connect to the competitive multiplayer servers due to high demand, but there's no excuse for refusing service to your customers who paid $50 for this game. As of right now, people who buy Black Ops on the Wii can't be sure that they'll be able to play it online until Activision deems it time. You'll want to make sure this problem has been rectified before you lay down any of your hard earned dollars for this product. Well isn't that nice of Activision? They made an online mode for the game, but didn't think that many people would play. Now that more gamers are trying to go online than they expected, they just throw an error message in the face of some gamers. I don't think 'slowly ramping up' online limits is going to work here. Thanks to Malvin for the heads up! |
Thanks for the info. Any other time I would be pretty pissed off reading that but after just getting some action I am just disappointed. I suppose I can just play the other two modes and check till it finally lets me connect. Luckily, I can play Goldeneye and WaW if I need to get my FPS multiplayer fix. What is weird is that I think almost as many people are playing Goldeneye if not more than Black Ops yet I haven't heard any connection issues with Goldeneye. I assume they were thinking more people would play Goldeneye than Black Ops (yet it seems both games are selling pretty decently).
